Edward Wasserman, in the Miami Herald, argues that online journalism seems to focus mainly on the op-ed model – -where contributors are not employees of the site, hold some knowledge about the topic for which they write, and are paid little if at all. These contributions are edited by full-time editors of the news source. Wasserman sees this trend as a continuation of journalism’s tradition of relying on subsidies to prosper. Yet he also worries about potential conflics of interest, which seem almost inherent in the op-ed model.
